I am really a language teacher

Although in the history of Aquaplanet, the humanities have been almost completely destroyed, but fortunately, everyone soon came to their senses, and after some rescue protection, it can be regarded as preventing the civilization of this planet from breaking down.But as for what was inherited, no one dared to say anything. "Mother Tongue" has the same mission as many literary and artistic magazines on this planet. They try to make up for literature and art and even the entire civilization from the perspective of literature.

Regardless of the fact that "Mother Tongue" is only affiliated with the Mother Tongue Magazine, it seems to be an unattractive institution under the Pioneer Publishing Group.But in fact, the real governing body of the mother-tongue magazine is the Aurora Pen Club, which is jointly composed of four organizations: the Aurora National Federation of Literary and Art Creators, the Authors Association, the Playwrights Association, and the Critics Association.It can be said that this magazine is the highest-standard literary and literary magazine in Aurora, especially its second half of the month.

"Mother Tongue" is a semi-monthly magazine. The first half of the month is a literary criticism edition, which mainly focuses on historical philosophy research and literary criticism; while the second half of the monthly magazine is a literary creation edition, which only publishes excellent original literature.And more importantly, the thickness of the second half of the monthly magazine is almost three times that of the first half of the monthly magazine, and many people joked that it can be used for self-defense.Although the volume of the second half of "Mother Tongue" is very large, compared with the people who love literary creation in the entire Sinian Kingdom, there are still too many monks and too few porridge.In addition, at least half of the pages of "Mother Tongue" magazine are used to publish the works of famous people and even everyone, so it is very difficult for newcomers to make their debut on "Mother Tongue".

According to some writers, new writers should first find a way to get a place in the supplement of the evening newspaper in their city, and then they can try to contribute to the literary journals in their province, and then they can submit articles to such magazines as "Writer", "Literary Monthly", etc. "Fiction and Poetry" is the last to try to contribute to "Mother Tongue".However, Sun Ping obviously relied on his experience of cooperating with "Mother Tongue", so he quickly submitted two of his short stories to "Mother Tongue".

Different from other magazines, the first half and second half of "Mother Tongue" are actually in charge of two editorial departments, especially the editors of the second half of the month are subdivided into the novel group, short story group, drama literature group and poetry prose group, etc. Each of the four major groups has its own editor-in-chief, who is responsible for deciding the articles to be published in this group; and the editor-in-chief of the entire editor is responsible for the recommendation of these published articles.

Sun Ping's "In the Jungle" and "Rashomon" naturally fell into the hands of the editor of the short story group. After reading it, editor Lin Jiajun lightly drew a circle on the top of the novel's homepage.According to the internal rules of the editorial department, a cross means that the paper is not qualified; a tick means that it has barely passed the test and is transferred to a reserve; a triangle means that it meets the publication standards and please be approved by the editor-in-chief; a circle means that the submission is very excellent and the editor-in-chief should give priority to it.

Don't look at Lin Jiajun as just a junior editor of "Mother Tongue" magazine, but he has been in the magazine for five years. When he switched to other magazines, he was either the editor-in-chief or a senior editor, but he still stayed here.When the editor-in-chief Yu Baoyan saw Lin Jiajun's recommendation, he read it carefully, and then took these two submissions to the editor-in-chief Huang Jun.

"Old Huang, I have received two good novels here. After careful reading, I found that this author has great potential. Do you think we should give priority to his submission?" Yu Baoyan handed over Sun Ping's manuscript. Going up, he replied quite cautiously.

"Oh, which great writer's new work is it?" Hearing Yu Baoyan's cautious voice, Huang Jun also became a little interested.

"If it was a new work by a great writer, I wouldn't have come here specifically to find you." Yu Baoyan pointed to the name at the end of the manuscript, "This is obviously a newcomer. In my impression, he doesn't seem to be from our literary circle. But the name seems to have been seen before."

"Oh? Let me take a look." Huang Jun looked at the name and said with a smile, "Oh, I have cooperated with the neighbor next door and made a few interesting manuscripts about history. I read it, and the history and writing skills are good. , I didn’t expect him to be very interested in pure literature writing?”

"So I wrote something about history!" Yu Baoyan suddenly realized, "His works imitate the traces of Dongying Kingdom, and his words and sentences have an Dongying accent in it, and his thinking is also very close to the group of literati in Dongying Kingdom. But he writes more Japanese than those Dongying people, presumably because he read a lot of ancient literature works of Dongying country when he was studying history?"

"Why are people from Dongying not from Dongying? The style of the novel doesn't belong to any country." Huang Jun shook his head and said, "Gaulics can write skepticism, but Dongying people can't? Don't limit your perspective to a certain frame , this is not suitable for you to read more works. This world is not short of beauty, but lacks the eyes to discover beauty. ——Leave the novel, you go back.”

Yu Baoyan kept Sun Ping's acquisition, but he turned around and left.After Huang Jun took care of the daily affairs at hand, he began to read Sun Ping's novels.Huang Jun is the vice chairman of the Aurora Federation of Literary and Art Workers, and also the chairman of the National Writers Association and the founder and chairman of the Aurora PEN Club. He is a first-class senior in the Aurora literary circle.Although he only puts his main work on "Mother Tongue" now, in fact, there are not many manuscripts he is responsible for reviewing.

The literati in the Sinian Kingdom can be roughly divided into three categories, the Western School, the Oriental School, and the Local School.Among them, the Western School is the mainstream. Since the center of world literature is now in Gaul and Citigroup, and the current major literary trends are mainly originated in the Western world, the Western School is the mainstream of the domestic literary world.Their writing is full of experimentation and forward-looking, pays attention to "art for art's sake", and pursues the liberation and freedom of personal thoughts in writing.At the same time, due to the cruelty of reality, the thinking of some Western-style writers tends to be depressed, sentimentalism, pessimism, and skepticism are rampant, and even some extreme Western-style writers pursue "appreciation of ugliness".

The Dongyang faction originated in the Cathay Kingdom, but it flourished in the Dongying Kingdom.The literati of the Oriental School pay attention to introspection, and solitaryism and egoism are the mainstream.At the same time, the writings of extreme oriental writers are extremely obscure, full of symbolism and surrealism.

The local school is the development and evolution of the "30-year school" of the Aurora Kingdom.The "30-year School" in the literary circles of Cathay has mixed opinions. Those who praise it believe that they have tried their best to preserve the traditional culture of Cathay under extreme circumstances; while those who depreciate it think that they have imprisoned the development of Cathay culture. As a result, the Cathay Kingdom was reduced from the world's cultural center to a second- and third-rate cultural country.

Although Huang Jun is regarded as an oriental literati, in fact he has an inclusive attitude towards Western and local schools, especially Huang Jun's knowledge of the traditional culture of Sinian is not inferior to any local literati.It is precisely because of Huang Jun's background that he has interesting spiritual resonance for Sun Ping's works.

Although the local school and the Oriental school have the same origin, because the Cathay Kingdom is a great river civilization, the mainstream thought of the Cathay Kingdom is moderate and peaceful, which also makes the local school literati particularly prefer grand narratives, and it is always the dream of thousands of years. Category.The Dongying Country is a marine civilization, especially the island where the Dongying Country is located has frequent earthquakes and volcanoes, which makes the mainstream thinking of this country very extreme and complicated.They are tolerant but addicted to gambling, and they have an almost morbid love for death.

Because of this, all the writers of the Oriental School have a kind of morbid creativity.The general mood of Japanese literati is to worship males and death, and at the same time have a special creative ability for small love and individual description.For example, Huang Jun's former friend was a fanatical violent element, who loved fitness, and even took a large-scale photo album with other men; at the same time, he was an anti-war element, claiming that his violence was used to stop killings.But because he was unable to prevent a violent incident in Dongying, he finally chose to commit suicide, which made Huang Jun feel very embarrassed.

After closing Sun Ping's contribution, Huang Jun picked up the phone, "Baoyan, let's arrange these two short stories for the next issue and the next issue. I will write an 'editor's note' at that time. I haven't read it in a long time. It’s a beautiful but in-depth novel, you can try to contact him. I believe that with his ability, he will soon become famous in the literary world.”

"I understand." Yu Baoyan replied, "But it's too much for you, the editor-in-chief, to write the 'Editor's Note'..."

"Praise him?" Huang Jun laughed, "He deserves it, and this is not my compliment. It should be said that I am very honored to be able to introduce such an excellent writer to the readers of Cathay. The newcomer award of the Literary Award is his, maybe he can also win the main award of the novel department."

"Maybe." Compared to Huang Jun's optimism, Yu Baoyan didn't think so.

Although the Aurora Literature Award is awarded every year, the jury's point of view has always been to prefer lack over excess.Except for the Newcomer Award, which is awarded every year to motivate newcomers, each department's main reward and the final grand prize have a history of vacancy.Especially the final grand prize has been vacant for three consecutive years, which made many writers feel ashamed.Because of this, Yu Baoyan didn't think Sun Ping had this ability.You must know that the Aurora Literature Award has only four departments: the novel department, the prose department, the poetry department and the drama department, especially the cruelty of the novel department every year can be called Shura field.

It is precisely because of the cruelty of the fiction department of the Aurora Literature Awards that the Writers Association has organized two awards, the Golden Pen Award for the Annual Novel Award and the Golden Book Award for the Best-selling Novel of the Year to balance the anger of novelists.In addition to these three awards, there is also the Golden Mask Award for dramatic literature and the "Poet Laureate" for poetry.

After being confirmed by the editor-in-chief, Yu Baoyan also signed his name, and Sun Ping's "In the Jungle" and "Rashomon" entered the typesetting sequence.Although Yu Baoyan doesn't think that Sun Ping's achievements will be as predicted by Huang Jun, he can also sense that Sun Ping's future achievements in the literary world must be at the level of a master, so he also feels friendly with such a rising star Contacting is also a good decision.

Thinking of this, Yu Baoyan asked Lin Jiajun to visit Sun Ping in the past few days, and learn about the author by the way.After receiving the order from his editor-in-chief, Lin Jiajun immediately booked a flight from Dongfang City to Jiangnan Province.

"Teacher Sun Ping, tomorrow the school will arrange some senior class teachers to teach your new class teachers. Don't forget then." Long Yuan, the secretary of the language teaching and research group, handed a notice to Sun Ping with a smile. "The detailed arrangement will be notified to you by email. Teacher Sun Ping, remember to treat your guests. It is a record for our No. [-] Middle School to be promoted to head teacher so quickly."

"Okay, I'll invite you all to have a meal together when you're free." Sun Ping agreed unequivocally.
